Here are few pics of my project for the Exedy booth at Formula Drift ATL..
My buddy Leo (AbadR1) painted the bumper (type2R), fenders, and help me install it. All done from last tuesday night (after 5PM) and early thursday morning (3AM)... Not bad for start painting to install :) http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...1&d=1241990679 http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...1&d=1241990703 http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7.../finished1.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7.../finished2.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...nny/myfd01.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...nny/myfd02.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...nny/myfd03.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...nny/myfd04.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...nny/myfd06.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...nny/myfd10.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...nny/myfd31.jpg |
Beautiful...
|
Looks good Phil. I really like the 3rd and 4th picture.
|
Thanks..
I need to do something about seeing the ground looking into the bumper opening.. I hate that!!! I did use 99+ MS undertray that Shine is replicating but it still shows the ground at certain angle... I'm going to try to fix that next weekend.. and build some sort of oil cooler duct.. |
gap or not , that mofo is still super clean..by the way.. how's that cosmo doin ? ;) lol
|
Absolutely beautiful. Makes me think I should have kept mine montego blue too. Any higher res of pics 8-10 available?
|
I envy you for all of your possessions I wish I could have!!! Beautiful FD is all I can say.
|
Phil, your MBFD is just so clean. Tastefully modded both interior, exterior, and engine wise.
3rd pic is my favorite. Nothing better than a garage with 2 FD's sitting inside being worked on. |
Wow, love it!
|
Thanks for the compliments...

very nice

I like that bumper. How does the car drive with that bumper? Does this get reed of the light feeling when driving at around 100 mph? My car seems to get light around this speed then seems to settle down a little at about 120 mph.
I also was looking at the same hood. See this comb on you car was great for me. I have a 95 MB. I think I may go with a differant hood. I like the look, but I think I want something a little differant then the look you have with that hood. Great looking car and as others have said, "tastefully done." |
nice photo work. It looks like you cleared out the whole city to take these photos, almost not another car or person in sight!
:) |
you need less offset on the front wheels, but looking good other than that.

Kevin, It was early in the morning.... Now I'm playing around with the pics to bring out some color.. Here is a rendered pic..
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e79/herblenny/5.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...DSC_0041-1.jpg dregg100, I think its good.. If I bring it out more, I think it will start hitting my fender liner. As of now, it doesn't rub anything at all |
Looking good as always Phil.

Hey Phil,
Looking awesome as always. Been buried at work the last 3 weeks straight, hence my reason for not responding to you on last year's Deals Gap shirts. I'll be in touch once things settle down at work... promise. Hey, on your brake rotor setup, are those 99 spec brakes or just stock calipers with aftermarket cross-drilled rotors? Just curious since I'm thinking of upgrading my brake rotors in the near future and I love how yours turned out! Thx! |
No Problem.. I thought you were mad at me or something..
They are RX front and rear, stock RZ rotors that are custom drilled by David Garfinkle. Cross drills are harmocially balanced and has a beveled edge. Great amounts of works been put on drilling all those holes and top notch works been put on by David. |

David is on this forum.. Garfinkle Motor Works.
You would have to send in your stock rotor and he will drill them for you.. Send him an PM> |

:drool5: Looks awesome!
|
:o16: i love those wheels...

Here is my updated UIM...
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...y/RWTBUIM3.jpg UIM I had for about 5 years... Garfinkle did his magic polishing, welding, opening up the inside, etc... I never used it because I was waiting on my larger ported stock TB... which I never got. But since I have the Rotary Work TB, I thought I use it instead of the stock one I had on. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...y/RWTBUIM4.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...y/RWTBUIM2.jpg All the un necessary nipples are cut and welded... for cleaner look. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...y/RWTBUIM1.jpg All the emission junk have been taken off.. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...y/RWTBUIM5.jpg and hole was cut on the top for uniqueness... |
Luv the new wheels, car looks great with them.
|
I think Phil is a street pharmacist! Straight up baller!
|
Alright.. For father's day, I had to go in to work for couple hours.. And thought I take the FD and test out the new TB and the wheel w/ 15mm front spacers.
http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...nny/XD91-1.jpg RW TB - I did noticed a slight low end bog. But it was pretty slight. But the rev through seem bit faster.. it could be just my imagination though. Wheels - I just love how they look on my MB. I have slight rub on the passenger side after 15mm spacer.. I'm going to find out where its hitting and try to fix it. But the stance is perfect! Drivability with these wheels seem pretty good. I was coming back home and this M3 got behind me and started to follow.. I'm running about 10lbs of boost and through the twisty downtown hill side, the car felt great. Maybe bit better on turns... again, it could be my imagination as I been driving my daily TL and haven't driven the FD in about 2 weeks. Here is another pic with my riced out LED lights on :) http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...nny/XD92-1.jpg And.... with the HID FEED signal lights and the LED wanna B lights.. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...lenny/XD93.jpg Yes!! I admit, I'm a ricer at heart.. But at least I admit and also trying to build a classy FD (My SSM) :) |
i dig LEDS. They really dont look bad.. maybe that means im a ricer too...
|
is it okay to ask what your brake setup is? those are the best looking rotors ive seen on stock brakes.

What mirrors are those Phil? That's awesome they fit over the stock holes, no need to have them filled in.
I like the LED lights too. I also like the HID turns, so nice and bright. |
